This is a monograph on one of Portugal's leading architects. It includes the Casa das Mudas Art Centre and the Das Salinas promenade, swimming pools and restaurant, as well as many single-family houses and current projects like the redevelopment of Camara de Lobos Bay or the Sao Vicente grottoes. The Portuguese architect Paulo David is a native of Madeira and works in the archipelago. This is an essential factor in his work, which is inspired by the island's grandeur to utilise the craggy topography and impressive vistas of sky and sea as essential building materials. Madeira's position at the margins enables David to cultivate local and traditional, non-globalised parameters to create strikingly original work that is respectful and bold in terms of the environment and maintains an intensely poetic atmosphere.
